Last gen Nexus 7; that said, it really is a solid tablet. Battery life has remained fairly consistent, though with stock android, it does tend to get bogged down (and you must close open apps) with gmail and a couple other apps running at the same time.

Memory management is tremendously better with alternative roms, very easy to root. Bad part is no micro sd slot, and sort of abysmal GPS antenna.

That said, grab one of these, mount it on your dash, load up Waze and set your phone into tether and blow all those Tomtom punks off the road!

First of all, I totally agree the SD card support is a must for any device I buy. However, Google has a point that security and stability are much higher with internal storage only. Also this is one way that Google avoids directly competing with other manufacturers, plus the gimping of the camera they always do.

NO!!!! This is absolutely not true. The screen on the Nexus 7 does not support this. PLEASE DO NOT be tricked into it. This is for a tablet like the Galaxy Note which has a screen that will recognize pressure sensitive pen input.

Recently Gamestop got rid of their remaining 1st Gen Nexus 7's for $99, new. I picked up two.
As much as I love it for the price Woot wants for it Id rather have (and do have) a Nook HD or HD+. It has a SD slot some here are complaining about, a very pretty screen and it is VEEERRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYY easily rooted to pure Android.

I have a 32 GB model and it's a solid device. Not the most powerful device on the market even when it was released, but it performs well. Be aware there's no rear facing camera on these though if that's an issue. I've had mine for about a year and though it doesn't get a great deal of use, it still works perfectly.

Now a side discussion - where are all of the refurbished Nexus 4s? Vendors are selling them for the same price as a new Nexus 5 all over the place and even used ones on ebay are going for what they retailed for a couple months ago.

Woot price for this refurb is "somewhat" competitive, for example see over at the the egg

However the new Nexus 7 has the highest rez screen for those who care and wish to Dare to Compare

Even with a "faster" cpu but poorer battery life (more pixels to activate, right?) and the addition of a rear camera and a HDMI output, the newly released Nexus 7 still doesn't support a memory expansion port to go along with its newer JellyBean 4.3 OS.

Still this Woot offering is much, much better than the Polaroids offered earlier.

However, if you like these refurbed Nexus 7's, you might like the HiSense Sero 7 Pro sold at wallymart, yet another factory refurb for $99.99 and it has all the same features as these Nexus 7's plus MicroSD expandibility, HDMI output, equivalent screen rez, JellyBean rootable Android OS, and simply more bang for your buck. Oh, and did I forget to mention, supports GooglePlay? Want a longer warranty, then buy the same items new in retail packaging for $129.99 and wally even has a cheap extended plan.

I was one of those that picked up the BRAND NEW 32GB Nexus that Gamestop had for $99 for my daughter and I had put one on hold for my mom who also purchased it at the same time.(I already have a 32GB)

Even though Gamestop sold all of it's stock in hours, there are stories all over of people using the Gamestop liquidation sale to get price matches from Walmart, Sears, and Staples so I would try that before I went the refurb route.

Then specifically about the refurb market; Walmart just a couple of days ago had the 16GB refurb for $79 and ebay routinely has the 32GB refurb model for $139

I expect SO much more from woot! but this sale falls VERY short of what it should be.

Wacom makes the Intuos Creative Stylus for the iPad 3, iPad mini and newer iPads. It works via Bluetooth 4.0 which transmits information about pressure (2048 levels), tilt and rotation just like other Wacom pro pens.

Which may be true, but isn't relevant to the original questioner, who asked about styli for the Nexus 7.

Does anyone know if there is a pressure sensitive capable pen for the Nexus 7?
